I've noticed a few SC mission patches that people have made in the past have had their own STS #s like the shuttle missions did.
Can anyone enlighten me as to when this happened and how they tracked the #s? I would have loved to have had an STS # to go with the camp session I went to...
STS #s for past SC sessions?

Re: STS #s for past SC sessions?
I think some of the more recent camps have tried to recreate the real-life shuttle missions in the SC simulations. I can recall at some point a few years ago walking through the training center and on the door to the mission control room next to the orbiter now called "Endeavour" there was a sign that said something like "Mission STS-101 now in progress" or something like that. But this would have been a few years ago. I just checked my photos from last summer and the sign at that time did not say that. I know the missions we ran when I was at camp were more spontianious and the counselors/crew trainers/sim directors seemed to be more in control of that sort of thing. And the way I understand it, for the alumni/corporate groups (like what Steve is creating for us) we ourselves can dictate in detail what kind of missions we would like, so long as it is reasonable and within the existing means of the center. I could be wrong about this, but other alumni in the past have spoke on Hab1 about how they intentionally asked for the missions to be extremely hard and challenging for themselves and found themselves on some pretty wild missions.
